Have you ever experienced sexual abuse/assault?

Question

I am just wondering how big of an issue this is, and how many of us women who have been through this.

Answer

I was 6 months pregnant. I was out for a walk. This college student at BCU down in Daytona snatched me up and sexually assaulted me. Thankfully I always carried my blade on me that my dad had given me. I stabbed that prick 13 times and called the cops. It was all caught on video so I faced no charges. That happened back in 2011. He’s still in jail. I was also raped twice, once at gun point. The first Daytona cop who showed up was a male. He called me a liar bc I was too calm to have just been raped at gun point. Like excuse the fuck out of me for remaining calm to give you details. That rape was on video. When he saw the tape he called me and apologized. I told him to go fuck himself and remember that shot when or if his own daughter gets raped. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

More than once unfortunately. Worst being my last partner before my current. The first time we had sex I was very very very drunk. I was staying at his place with some friends who were in the same house. (Was before we actually got together but I had blocked it from my mind until after it ended.) I was sleeping on the couch, he was upstairs, I vividly remember him coming up behind me and trying to take my clothes off while I kept saying "no" over and over again. He was a bouncer and very well built so my drunken attempts to push him off did nothing. I made it very clear even in that state I didn't want it. The next day when I went home I told myself I'd dreamt it cause there was no way this guy I'd liked for a year would do that to me. I was wrong. After our relationship had been going on a while,he wanted to try the other side (please catch my drift without me having to say it!) And when I said "no I don't want to" repeatedly, he got angry, made me feel like I had no choice and forcefully did it anyway. That was the worst of them, but there have been others too 😔

Answer

I was probably 5 when my old neighbour who was 13.. wanted me to touch him.. he cornered me and forced me.. I put a block on it for years but when an old friend mentioned the boy.. i remembered.
When i was 16.. I was on the bus on my way to see a friend.. this man kept asking me to sit next to him.. I refused.. he started getting annoyed and moved to the seat next to me and attempted to touch me.. I went downstairs.. I should of told the driver but I was too scared.. when I got off the bus.. my friend was there and the next bus stop wasnt too far apart.. he got off the next stop and followed us.. he thought it was where I lived.. luckily we ran and lost him but I dread to think what would of happened.

Answer

On the bus in 7th grade, some boys would sit behind me on purpose so they could grab my breasts from behind.
I was at a Halloween party when I was 13, when a boy kept touching me under my dress, trying to reach my vagina, even though I told him to stop. It was worse when my whole grade found out and thought he fingered me 🙄 people thought I was a slut (8th grade logic). I couldn’t sleep at night. I didn’t tell my mom until about a month or so later once she could see something was wrong. She wanted to go tell my school principal but I didn’t want her to because it didn’t happen at school and I didn’t want to bring more attention to myself.

Answer

Raped by bffs brother at 10 and molested by my cousin at 14.

Answer

Yes. My ex would force me to do anal all the time to the point I'd bleed after. Finally got away from him after 2 years of the abuse.

Answer

Statistically speaking, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men have experienced some type of sexual violence in their life. That number is even higher for WOC. I have, from my dad, an ex boyfriend, and a stranger in the subway in Paris. Surprisingly, the one on the subway was the one that really got to me the most in that moment. Mostly because the train was FULL of people watching me scream at this dude and no one did a damn thing. They just stood there and stared at me. Luckily I had a friend with me and we just got off at the next stop and walked all the way back to our hotel. She told me on the walk back that he was doing the same thing to her with his other hand.

Answer

Mildly. We had an uncle (he was only four years older than me) that stroked my leg inappropriately while we were playing computer games (I was like eight maybe) and he stroked a little too high up if you know what I mean. Later that night I woke up to him standing over my bed, claiming he needed a pillow.

Answer

Yes by my youngest sisters dad who has been apart of my life since I was 2 n he did what he did when I was 14 he has just recently been sent down for 2 years.
